- Description
'Somewhere... in a galaxy* far, far away...' a scruffy man searching a dump for useful stuff comes across a large document labelled 'Experts'. He realises that he has stumbled across the 'National Health Board Southern Neurological Services Review Panel' and thinks that this 'missing panel of experts...' might be worth sticking on ebay... The asterisk in the heading links to a note nelow that reads 'Auckland - it's the same thing'. The second version has larger text and the third version lacks the words 'might be worth sticking on ebay' and also lacks the 'Auckland' note. Refers to the controversial topic of neurosurgery units in the South Island. Currently both Christchurch and Dunedin provide neurosurgical services, but with the five South Island district health boards (DHBs) agreeing the South Island would be best served by having one hospital providing them, one will be forced to give up. There have been large protests led by the mayors of Dunedin and Invercargill. A report on the issue is due to be presented to Health Minister Tony Ryall in October. The comment about Auckland being a galaxy 'far far away' is a reference about how far away fro Southland, Auckland seems to be.
